01 - Intro
02 - Forever Free
They try to give me answers
To questions I've never asked
I'll have no part in their conspiracy
I guess I am the kind of
Guy that will never stray
The thing I need is privacy
Some guiding, depriving
Misleading and combining
They're watching our every move
They can try to bind our arms
But they can't chain our minds or hearts
We will keep our faith inside our souls
And never let it go – we are Forever free
You see them making headlines
New pictures tell old stories
Explaining what they have said and done
Media's new illusion
Creating more confusion
But I know that they'll soon be gone
03 - Kiss Of Judas
I hear footsteps closing in
I recognize them from my early days
The times are different the image remains the same
Repeating backflashes remembering the name
Approaching visions of things
I can't recall
A familiar smile awakes the pain
Unkept promises
The night awaits
The act of confidence
The kiss of Judas
I feel the lips on my cheek
The kiss of Judas
Haunts me once again
In your private chamber you're all alone
The well earned silver pieces falling to the Floor
The flame of the candle casting movement to the wall
Your eyes filled with guilt keep staring at the door
04 - Father Time
Walking down the path that leads me to my
memories
Pacing all the way without a care in my stride
Where are the friends of my yesterday
have they moved on with they lives
Can we still laugh and joke about things like before
There's no need to hide the past that I have left behind
It's a good resource somewhere for me to find
Why am I waiting for someone to reach out
it should be all up to them
keeping in touch ain't that easy but I'll have to try
Where have all the years gone
that's what I am asking now
What have I learnt so far
tell me Father Time – tell me now
Now I understand I'll take from time what I need
And I store it inside it's there for me to find
I can't deny that the years will pass by
but it won't bother me
Coz now I will set out to realize my dream
05 - Distant Skies
Went into the plane was scared like hell
tried to relax for awhile
But when we took off I feared we would fall
waving goodbye to this life
I'm flying through winds tonight
no sign of the dawn or light
Silhouettes in the sky
wings are carrying me through the night
Sihouettes in the sky
destination unknown – Distant Skies
Then after awhile I tried to sleep
but watched two movies instead
The fear struck again how I hate this plane
Hope this would come to an end
I'm flying through winds tonight
no sign of the dawn or light
06 - Season Of Change
Season of change life feels so strange
Look into my eyes do you see the truth
I'm lost and alone feelings unknown
Come to me stronger than before
On winds of time my soul will fly
The angels are knocking at my door
Oh now I need to be free
From all this hatred I feel inside
Let it be my dreams
Let it be my thoughs
All those things in my heart
One too many days
One too many years
I wasted for nothing
I never realized
The truth is inside
Of every man for all to see
Listen to me now
I'm so close to you
Never felt like this before
The carousel is spinning fast
better enjoy while it lasts
Every moment is like gold
you'll remember when you're old
And the meaning of this life
is to live and is to die
Make the best out of your dreams
they're the world where you are free
All the sorrow and the pain
will be washed away by rain
An eternal joy will come
it can be found by everyone
Though the end is drawing near
I'm not feeling any fear
I have found the truth inside
after all the tears I've cried
Season of Change...
07 - Speed Of Light
Today is just an other day
of my life too short to live
I should have somekind of meaning
a destiny to believe in
before I go to sleep
I find some pictures of a time
when everything was still so fine
although the years have passed by
I will give it all I have inside...
everything
I'm away lost in my thoughts
everyday my life goes by
at the speed of light
08 - Twilight Symphony
I'm entering in to the woods
I left everything behind
I have to follow my heart
Don't know what I'm looking for
Starlights guiding my way
to old black oak where we meet
now it's full moon
Other side is calling me
singing dancing this is no dream
Twilight Symphony
The feast is going on
rapture never seen before
the fury is taking us
into a new level soon
Hearing voices everywhere
telling me what to do
giving me answers
The spirits are calling me
I only wish to die
there is no question why
anymore
09 - Holy Solos
(instrumental)
10 - Visions
I have seen the future of mankind
The wisdom of my prophecies you'll find
Follow the truth and be careful, are we the last?
Hundred years has passed what have we done
Inconceivable damage under the sun
I think it's too late to change the man – we are the last
The World keeps turning while people yearn for more
Mother nature is crying for a change
The time will come when we all must pay for what
We have done are you prepared for that?
As we are reaching the end
Of the century there's message we can send
Be strong and bold and never lose your mind
Cause we are the last
Signs of the end I see
Let them hear my voice in every corner of the world
Take heed of the warnings that I give
I have seen the southern cross forming in the sky
"There shall be heard in the air the noise of weapons
And in the same year the divines shall be enemies
They shall unjustly put down the holy laws
And by thunder and war true believers shall die"
Nostradamus: Century IV:43
"For forty years the rainbow shall not appear
For forty years it shall be seen every day
The parched earth shall wax drier every day
And a great flood when it shall appear"
Nostradamus: Century I:17
After us the road goes on forever
Many changes lie along the path
That's the price we pay for our selfishness
We are headed for the end
"From the skies shall come the powerful kind
Before and after the Mars reigns at will
Not far from the great age of Millenium
Buried ones shall come out of their graves"
Nostradamus: Century X:72,74
When the comet tears out the sky
You and I must die
After all this the time will come for the chosen ones
To rise from their graves to be free again
The beast is gone forever there's no more pain
Instead so many things for us to attain
The sun is shining brightly after the rain
The land is green and full of life again
The sorrows wiped away now
It's time to smile
And learn from the past
Together we will try
Twenty years of reign of the moon having past
Seven thousand years another shall hold his monarchy
When the sun shall resume his days past
Then is fulfilled and ends my prophecy
Nostradamus: Century I:48
11 - Will The Sun Rise?
Throwing my dreams out of my mind
casting them into the sky
canceling tasks I've delayed for so long
now it's do or die
I can't be seen I can't be heard
but I am here and I am wondering
Will the sun rise tomorrow
will it light up my sky
can I wake up with no sorrow awaiting
Will the sun rise tomorrow
will I still see the dawn
and not worry 'bout the future anymore
At the end of each day I promise myself
I'd better start to live
coz sooner or later I'll find out
there's so much I can give
I can't be seen I can't be heard
but I am here and I am wondering
12 - Forever
I stand alone in the darkness
the winter of my life came so fast
memories go back to my childhood
to days I still recall
Oh how happy I was then
there was no sorrow there was no pain
walking through the green fields
sunshine in my eyes
I'm still there everywhere
I'm the dust in the wind
I'm the star in the northern sky
I never stayed anywhere
I'm the wind in the trees
would you wait for me forever?
13 - Black Diamond
Again I see you standing there watching me
Your gaze, those eyes are tantalizing openly
Inviting me to get close to you
Can't help myself
There's fascination in the air
I try to fight this strong sensation
But there's no chance to escape from this temptation
Feels like I've known you before
Repeating phrases
But I yearn for something more
I know I can't stay by your side forever
But I know I won't forget your beauty
My black diamond
Black Diamond
14 - Against The Wind
Once again I try to make things work
facing all the power of society
Searching all the answers of the life
I'll never make it on my own
Was I meant to fail everytime
Seems to me thats my destiny
Is this all that's left to me
Confusion and bad memories
But now my time has come
No more running in the dark
I want much more than this
I really want it all
Against the wind we run
to every place under the sun
We've got so much power inside
We will never give up
Against the wind we go
towards the new shore
together we'll forget the sorrow
it's forever gone
15 - Paradise
Late at night I find myself again
Wondering and watching TV
I can't believe what's on the screen
Something that I wouldn't like to see
Many rare species will perish soon
And we'll be short on food
Why do we have to be so selfish
We've got to change our attitude
I know that I am not
The only one that's worried
Why don't we all
Wake up, and realize
Like the birds in the sky
We're flying so high
Without making anykind of sacrifice
We've got so little time
To undo this crime
Or we'll lose our paradise
It seems to me that there's no sense at all
Nobody cares it's always the same
Mother nature's crying out in pain
I know we're the one's to blame
16 - Legions
Far in the core of the earth
First it was given birth
We heard the call the message was so clear
The tracks were laid for the future to come
Sons and daughters of the Rising sun
The armies in europe here we come
We run like the wind we play from the heart
Now we are here together we sing
Faster than light higher than the sky
Tonight we're together again
Never give up and never give in
Stronger than steel we're the legions of the Twilight
We survived the hard times
Never accepted the lies
You run like the wind you sing from the heart
Now that we're here together we'll sing
When we have to go back home again
We'll keep the mem'ries we gained inside our hearts
Raise your hands for us!
